@ChrisTokita Iโ€™m mildly impressed with Spencer Prattโ€™s housing platform โ€” outside of his unhinged take on SB 79, of course. But he is a nutjob who wonโ€™t win, and that probably doesnโ€™t come across in my original tweet.

@ChrisTokita Youโ€™re right! My โ€œdingingโ€ was in response to anti-Nithya sentiment, which may be a function of my algorithm. I donโ€™t care that her messaging is imperfect from a strictly YIMBY perspective. I see it as a big tent strategy, and Nithya has shown that she is capable of leading.

Karen Bass: proud NIMBY Rae Huang: leftist vibes, NIMBY policy Spencer Pratt: right-wing vibes, YIMBY policy Nithya Raman: progressive YIMBY (mild pandering to left NIMBYs) Nithyaโ€™s my pick!
Giacomo Volpe ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿค๐ŸŒ@_giacomo_volpe_

@sp6runderrated Shes not perfect but theres no other real choice here The other options are incompetent uber NIMBY Bass, right wing nutcase reality tv star, and DSA vote splitter fringe candidate

@_giacomo_volpe_ With the very notable exception of SB 79, Prattโ€™s housing platform is surprisingly YIMBY (pro-building, pro-streamlining) but I suspect he avoids the YIMBY label because itโ€™s left-coded in LA. x.com/JMGregorchuk/sโ€ฆ

Holy smokes @spencerpratt might get more homes built than the YIMBYiest candidate if he is able to bring this spirit back to LA. Is he really the only person running who gets it?

I disagree with urban progressives on almost all issues but arch-nimby, moderate urbanism is a horrific ideology. Given that the progressive here is at least open to some housing I'd consider voting for her if I was an Angeleno.

Letโ€™s lower the rent! As mayor, I will triple housing production by cutting red tape, lowering costs, and eliminating pointless bureaucracy.

@lalovestrump The DSA supported Nithya a long time ago. But I donโ€™t agree that Nithyaโ€™s current agenda is the same as the DSA agenda, and I think even the DSA would agree โ€” theyโ€™ve explicitly opted not to endorse any candidate for mayor.

@wukemon Anything she says on housing is irrelevant because she is DSA and supports insane ideas like abolish police , prisons , release all prisoners and end capitalism โ€ฆ

Iโ€™d argue itโ€™s the opposite. A tenant protections platform appeals to low info voters. Focusing on supply is actually the riskier, albeit correct, strategy. Iโ€™m surprised so many housing advocates donโ€™t recognize this messaging as an effort to build a bigger tent.
Make L.A. Great Again ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ@lalovestrump

@JMGregorchuk She is counting on low info voters that donโ€™t know her / DSA agenda โ€ฆ the local media of course never even talks about DSA

Not to be one of those Britney fans who make everything about Britney, but this is reminiscent of the conspiracy theorists who are more obsessed with the idea of Britneyโ€™s suffering than actual concern for her wellbeing.
Pat Dennis@patdennis

Left climate folks (differentiated from solutions climate folks) adopted the issue assuming it couldn't be solved by technical means, it would require a new economic system. Now that technological solutions appear to be panning out, it loses a lot of appeal to those folks

The LA region has the fewest homes per adult of anywhere in America.ย  When homes are scarce, rents rise. The result: LA is the most rent burdened big city in America.

A few years ago, one such person messaged us in a panic that Britney was โ€œnot free.โ€ Oh no, we thought, did we have to organize again? After a little digging, it turned out that according to this person, the problem was that Britney wouldnโ€™t listen to anyone around her.
heather@heather42208450

@ghoulia it's really concerning how literally anyone who was once associated with britney just has to say "i don't think she's fully free" and certain fans will automatically dive right into the conspiracies that made free britney a joke to everyone ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

My absolute favorite โ€œrebootโ€ is @adishankarbrand and @JosephKahnโ€™s unauthorized Power/Rangers short film. Legasequels shouldnโ€™t have to match the original tonally and often work best when they donโ€™t. Such a shame that Buffy was shelved.
Film Updates@FilmUpdates

New details regarding the โ€˜BUFFYโ€™ revival series cancellation have been reported by @DEADLINE: โ€ข Hulu felt the show โ€œplayed too youngโ€ as it focused too much on the new character played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong and was too โ€œsmall.โ€ โ€ข A rewrite to address these issues took place, with more scenes featuring Buffy added and a darker tone. โ€ข Despite the rewrites, Hulu still decided to pass on the series. โ€ข Deadline reports Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich (who was allegedly the producer who wasnโ€™t a fan of the original show that Sarah Michelle Gellar mentioned in an interview) was the one who decided not to move forward with the show.

@sheplayssitar Yes, exactly what you mean. Sure, anyone can feel unhappy about her situation or about how Cade does his job. But it doesnโ€™t mean Britney doesnโ€™t have agency of her own. At the end of the day, sheโ€™s free to lead her life however she wants.
